Some of the vaccines are "autologous", being prepared from samples taken from the patient, and are specific to that patient.
Personalized mRNA cancer vaccine therapy is a therapy that uses a personalized cancer vaccine based on mRNA vaccine technology to target existing tumors in patients. As of 2024, number of mRNA cancer vaccines are in clinical trials, of which many are personalized therapies based on engineering mRNA-mediated immune response that targets the patient's particular strain of cancer cells.
